A dataset of direct observations of sea ice drift and waves in ice [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 Variability in sea ice conditions, combined with strong couplings to the atmosphere and the ocean, lead to a broad range of complex sea ice dynamics. More in-situ measurements are needed to better identify the phenomena and mechanisms that govern sea ice

Interannual variability in Transpolar Drift summer sea ice thickness and potential impact of Atlantification [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Changes in Arctic sea ice thickness are the result of complex interactions of the dynamic and variable ice cover with atmosphere and ocean. Most of the sea ice exiting the Arctic Ocean does so through Fram Strait, which is why long-term measurements of ...

Visual record of intertidal disturbance caused by drift ice in the spring on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. [PDF]
F1000Res, 2014 In the early spring of 2014, an unusually large amount of sea ice drifted from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where it had been produced, towards the open Atlantic Ocean through the Cabot Strait, between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Canada.

Improving Multiyear Sea Ice Concentration Estimates with Sea Ice Drift [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Multiyear ice (MYI) concentration can be retrieved from passive or active microwave remote sensing observations. One of the algorithms that combines both observations is the Environmental Canada Ice Concentration Extractor (ECICE). However, factors such as ridging, snow wetness and metamorphism can cause significant changes in brightness temperature ...

Impact of rheology on probabilistic forecasts of sea ice trajectories: application for search and rescue operations in the Arctic [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 We present a sensitivity analysis and discuss the probabilistic forecast capabilities of the novel sea ice model neXtSIM used in hindcast mode. The study pertains to the response of the model to the uncertainty on winds using probabilistic forecasts ...

Evaluation of Arctic sea ice drift and its dependency on near-surface wind and sea ice conditions in the coupled regional climate model HIRHAM–NAOSIM [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 We examine the simulated Arctic sea ice drift speed for the period 2003–2014 in the coupled Arctic regional climate model HIRHAM–NAOSIM 2.0. In particular, we evaluate the dependency of the drift speed on the near-surface wind speed and sea ice ...

Operational SAR-based sea ice drift monitoring over the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2012 An algorithm for computing ice drift from pairs of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images covering a common area has been developed at FMI. The algorithm has been developed based on the C-band SAR data over the Baltic Sea. It is based on phase correlation

On the Drift Ice of the Sea of Okhotsk
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1974 In this paper, the outline of the meteorologic and the oceanographic investigation on the drift ice formation in the Sea of Okhotsk is given.The main factor which affects the ice formation in the Sea of Okhotsk is the existence of a thin mixing layer of very low salinity less than 100m in thickness on the surface of the Sea.The origin of this low ...

Impact of Sea Ice Drift Retrieval Errors, Discretization and Grid Type on Calculations of Ice Deformation [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 We studied two issues to be considered in the calculation of parameters characterizing sea ice deformation: the effect of uncertainties in an automatically retrieved sea ice drift field, and the influence of the type of drift vector grid.

ARCTIC, 1966 Summarizes the final documentation of this drift from its calving from Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, North Ellesmere Island, winter 1961-62 until sightings of the remaining fragments in waters of Labrador and Newfoundland, summer 1964. The drift south from the Arctic Ocean indicates that the southward water transport through Nares Strait is discontinuous and ...
